Abstract
Democracy has been undergoing a bumpy ride in
Bangladesh since her creation as an independent state. Though a
democratic set-up got going in 1991 after years of authoritarian
and army rule, the train of democracy has again been derailed to
a degree. Bangladesh has been under state of emergency for quite
a long time now. Though the current government - caretaker or
interim - made definitive statement regarding its goal of
cleansing Bangladesh politics from corruption and
criminalization, some of its steps fell terribly flat with many
others failing to have sustainable impact.
